The "heart centered" meditation practices reminds me of what some of the Sufis do, focusing on the divine names through their heart. On Thu, Oct 20, 2011 at 2:17 AM, Mark A.

However, through my mediocre knowledge of Arabic, they are a not quite the same as before (more critical realist than Neoplatonic). Any feedback would be welcomed. Mark A.
